5,000 USD is approx. 160,000 THB - even in pre-covid times, that would be more than enough for a 5* hotel for a month. If renting a nice serviced apartment (depending on size) in the locations mentioned, that would probably set you back 50-70k THB for a month (again, not sure if it has dropped tremendously like hotel rates).
Yes, when saying upper Sukhumvit that is basically after Asoke junction in outbound direction, so Phrom Phong, Thonglor and Ekkamai (which correspond to the three BTS stations after Asoke outbound).

Phrom Phong is actually the name for a whole area, from Asoke to Thonglor (Thonglor area starts at around Sukhumvit Soi 49), but only north of Sukhumvit...then it is the name of a BTS station close to Emporium and EmQuartier and finally the name of a Soi, Sukhumvit Soi 39 (where I lived for several years)
